Robotic Telepresence are robotic solutions for advanced mobile video conferencing communication and remote navigation. Telepresence robots are robotic platforms where a user can maneuver a robot with a camera and a screen displaying his or her visage or representative avatar around a remote facility where the operator can interact with colleagues, examine plant and equipment, participate in events, or have other two-way visual interaction. Telepresence robots are being used in medicine to check on patients and as mobile pill dispensers. Robotic platforms can be equipped with robotic hands for grasping, laser pointers, trays, and a variety of other accouterments.
